6744;, M ATTORNEY .threaded portion 17 of the positioning memher to engage the exterior of the extension 7,

I lar control member an whereby after the receiving member and parts have been assembled on the attaching plate, the wall of the stack or furnace cut out to correspond to the plate opening 6 and the plate 2 secured to the wall, the tubular memr 1 is inserted the desired distance through the passage way 14 and the receiving member rotated until the tubular member 1 is substantiallyhorizontal, the takin up of the nut- 19 will hold the same in that position by the arcuate undercut 18 being drawn into contact with the tubular member and the engagement of the nut 19 with the exterior of the extension 7, To obtain the maximum amount of rotation possible of the tubular member the attaching plate 2 is provided with embossings 21, conforming in shape to the tubular member, on opposite sides of the rectangular opening 6 and on reverse sides of the piate, as shown, to receive the tubular memr when it has been rotated to the limit.- VVhat I claim is: 1. -An adjusable mounting for thermostatic controls upon furnaces, said control having a cylindrical member passing through the wall thereof, including an attaching plate, a cylindrical receiving member having a diametrical passage way, adapted to receive the cylindrical member of the control, rotatably mounted upon said plate, and means in adjustable engagement with said plate and carried by the receiving member for positionin the cylindrical member therein and securing the receiving member against rotation.

2.An adjustable mounting for thermostatic controls upon furnaces, said control havin a tubular member passing through the wall t ereof; including an attaching plate, a cylindrical receiving member having a diametrical passa e way, adapted to receive the tubular mem r of the control, trunnions upon each end of the receiving member, said p ate provided with an aperture and struck upportions on each side to provide bearings for said trunnions, and means holds ing the trunnions in enga ement with the i plate, saidmeans having a justable' engageinent with the plate for (positioning the tubuing member; Y

3. An adjustable mounting for thermo-' static controls upon furnaces, said control having a tubular member passing through the wall thereof, including an attaching 'plate,na cylindrical receiving member having a diametrical passage way, ada ted to receive the tubular member of t e cointrol,

locking the receiv-- trunnions upon each end of the receiving member, said late provided with an aperture and strucii up portions on each side to provide bearings for said trunnions, and means holding the trunnions in engagement with the plate, said means having adjustable engagement with the plate for positioning the tubular control member and locking the receiving member to a portion of the plate bent at right angles to the body at one side of the opening, and means having sliding engagement with said bent up portions of the plate for holding the trunnions against the bearings, and means upon said first means for engaging the tubular control member and locking the receiving member.

4. A mounting for cylindrical members for both longitudinal and rotative adjustment including an attaching plate provided with a central aperture, a cylindrical receiving member mounted for rotation therein, and provided with a diametrical passage way for receiving the cylindrical member, a positioning member carried by'said receiving member adapted to adjusiably engage the cylindrical member and aportion of the at-' taching plate and means fdr locking the positioning member. to hold the cylindrical having a. diametrical passage way a apted to slidably receive the tubular member, a positioning member mounted for movement within the receiving member at right angles to said passage way and intersecting a portion thereof, said positioning member pro vided with an arcuate under cut portion permitting longitudinal movement of the tubular member and an extension at one end passing through the arcuate slot to hold the trunnions in the bearin and means upon the exterior of the positioning member to engage the exteriorof the slotted extension to cause the positioning member to en go the tubular member to prevent longitu al movement thereof through said passage way and at the same time prevent rotation of the cylindrical receiving member.
